Crumb Along Geese

I've always loved the look of Amish quilts, especially those with a black background. Never having done the whole black quilt thing, I thought this month would be a good time to play a little with the concept. What a fun way to use up all the triangle bits leftover from joining strips of binding fabric! It doesn't take much effort to turn them into little geese. I've got a quilt group thing to go to this morning, but I'd love to try some crumby Chinese coin blocks this afternoon. I can already see it in my head. Head over to Jo's Country Junction to look at all the other crumb creations, or follow the links below to see what people are cooking up for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

What a clever idea! To practice on a colour style you've never done before... why don't I think of things like that? Your geese really stand out, like they are skimming the surface of the black, as if perhaps in flight.
